Apple said "Yes", and iPhone users around
the world said, "Yes, please". Opera Mini was downloaded more than one
million times in its first day of availability in each market. Opera Mini
is currently the number one iPhone app in the 22 featured Apple App Stores
on their site, as of 8 a.m. CET today.

According to Apple’s download count, Opera Mini has been added to
1,023,380 Apple devices. Opera Mini is the world’s most popular browser
that brings the Web to nearly any mobile phone. Opera submitted its
browser to Apple on March 23, following the unveiling of Opera on iPhone
during the Mobile World Congress, CTIA and SXSW. Initial previews of the
browser garnered rave reviews, indicating that Opera Mini delivers up to
six times the speed, especially on congested networks, and significant
Web-page compression to keep roaming and pay-per-MB costs at a minimum.

"Today iPhone users have a choice, and, as the numbers show, they are
eager to explore new and faster ways to surf the Web on the iPhone -
especially during heavy Web traffic," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera
Software. "With any widely available and frequently downloaded Opera
product, we are appreciative of all the feedback we are getting, as it
helps us to continually improve our product and better meet the needs of
our users."
